Lee Zi-cheng
In the face of the towering city of Beijing, Li Zicheng, who had come all the way to the battlefield, was timid in his heart: Looking around his leadership team, can he sit in this country? The walls of Beijing are high and thick, even if you can conquer it, can you sit on this thousand miles of rivers and mountains? Can the governance of the world be smooth and vertical? The Daming army is still elite, and if it gathers, it will be an earth-shattering battle. Wu Sangui, the ming general at Shanhaiguan, had heavy troops, and Zuo Liangyu also had heavy troops. The king of Chuang is already tired after hundreds of battles, the king of Chuang is no longer broken, he is afraid of this final big fight, maybe the bloody and pestle of the big fight. This kind of fight is a total loss.
To form an alliance with the Chongzhen Emperor, this decision really cannot be determined by one person, and what conditions cannot be set by one person, and the leading group has some debates, some discussions, and reached an agreement.
Du Xun, the surrendered Ming eunuch, was summoned to the front, gave an explanation, and was ordered to leave.
Behind Du Xun was a large camp of rebels who had been marching away, waving flags.
Chongzhen
This Chongzhen Emperor wanted to do something, but he had a fatal flaw: suspicion. Especially against military generals with heavy troops. The shocking move was to kill Yuan Chonghuan, kill yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and self-destruct the Great Wall! Since then, hundreds of officials have been silent, and since then the words have disappeared. There are eunuchs sent by the imperial court around the military general, called the supervision army, which is an extension of the emperor's nerves, and the emperor believes in eunuchs! In this way, how the military general will fight this battle must look at the eyes of the eunuch. Li Zicheng sent eunuchs back to Chongzhen. When a eunuch is in charge, he can not destroy the country!
Du Xun asked to see the emperor, and the emperor summoned him.
Hearing that Li Zicheng's army did not want to capture the city of Beijing, the emperor was suspicious.
However, there are conditions: li zicheng is willing to be a king of the northwest by cutting off the northwest; the Ming court pays millions of dollars, which is considered to be the settlement fee given; Li Zicheng is willing to command the army to resist the Qing, but cannot ask Li Zicheng to kneel down to the emperor to take orders.
The emperor was even more suspicious. Li Zicheng's army came to the city, and when the momentum was at its peak, he wanted to go back to be the king of the northwest? Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu had heavy troops outside but did not move, and there were no troops in Beijing that could fight a battle, but at this time Li Zicheng wanted to stop the troops and leave? You can't say that the emperor's fox is unreasonable. He was afraid of being teased by Li Zicheng, and he was ashamed of it.
If the Chongzhen Emperor was a good politician, he should immediately seek to establish an anti-Qing united front with Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng's army joined forces with Wu Sangui's army and Zuo Liangyu's army to resist the Qing. Let's not talk about expediency.
Li Zicheng promoted peace through war.
Shen Zhixiu, the eunuch who was looking down at the wind, was also sent by Li Zicheng to see the emperor, and the rope was lowered on the city wall, and the rope was raised to the city. The conditions changed: let the emperor abdicate.
The emperor immediately had an attitude: Fury!
Li Zicheng's capture of the city of Beijing was step by step, and Xu Was planning.
The emperor also tried to arrange for the crown prince to flee south, but there was no force to escort him, and he gave up. Escape also needs to pay attention to a lineup, which is really speechless. Is it okay for a man to disguise himself as a beggar?
When the rebels were killing each other, Chongzhen ordered his three sons to flee for their lives.
Chongzhen has not fled, and the Qunchen will understand: Die together!
Those who refused to accompany the dead secretly went down.
At the last moment, Chongzhen was dragged by the eunuch to escape, fled to the coal mountain not far away, a shoe ran away, he decided not to escape, wrote a blood letter to Li Zicheng, asked him to treat the people kindly, and then hanged himself.
Chongzhen Coal Mountain hanged itself
If he does not negotiate peace and surrender, he can also be regarded as an emperor with backbone.
However, it is not enough to be an emperor with backbone, but also a level.
Li Zicheng captured Chongzhen's two sons, did not kill them, and treated them well. Even at the request of the former crown prince, Chongzhen and the empress were buried.
Li Zicheng definitely wanted to be a good emperor, but he could no longer restrain his subordinates, especially the general Liu Zongmin, who was thinking about money and beauty at this time, and Daming officials were all hunting objects, and no matter how you wailed, you could not soften the iron heart of hunting.
Did Li Zicheng expect this scene?
Li Zicheng defeated Shanhaiguan
Li Zicheng defeated Shanhaiguan and fled the city of Beijing, and the captured two sons of Chongzhen disappeared.
Li Zicheng was later killed by the landlords. There are also claims that they are missing.
Chongzhen and Li Zicheng, both grand plans and long-term ambitions, all ended in tragedy, which is lamentable.
Under the Nine Springs, the two can talk to each other and hold hands to see each other's tearful eyes.
Li Zicheng: I know I can't be an emperor, I don't have that level!
Chongzhen: I want to be a good emperor, but I don't have a good minister!
